Pyramid schemes, from a true buiiness point of view, are flawed. It expects the base to keep on growing; the ones on top make tonnes of money, those at the bottom loose money and friends.
Having said that, from a macroscopic view, it is not a fraudulent business for an individual business owner. You aren't trying to recrui members, take their money and run away. If your recruits do their work, both of you will make money. Some make million at the top levels, but remember in a pyramid the top is small and the base is larger; most probably that's where you will be.
Schemes like Amway, IHI etc got into legal troubles. Quixtar, has learned from the mistakes and devised a way to avoid these problems; but nobody can guarantee that they are law suit resistant. A friend of mine attended Quixtar seminar and he described it as a cult following, like Night of the Templars induction ceremony.
Bottom line, don't quit your day job for Quixtar. You will also risk annoying your friends and aquaintances as most already know about the "Pyramid" scheme. Don't approach them asking if they want to be rich by joining Quixtar; you might want to say this is a dicount membership club with potential to make side money.
I personally don't like these schemes, but won't recommend anything.
